We read the reviews before we went so we were fully prepared. The taxi driver met us at the bus and then took us to town where we did our shopping. When we got to the island we learned that we had been upgraded from a double to a very well appointed cottage a few steps away from the beach.... More

My boyfriend and I wanted a quiet beachfront holiday and Betham's was perfect for us. It was clean, quiet, comfortable, and perfectly situated right on the beach. Couldn't ask for more. We brought all our own food/drink and enjoyed cooking our own meals in the cottage. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. Staff were friendly. We enjoyed swimming, snorkeling,... More

I made arrangements by email several weeks in advance of arrival. I discussed meals, and gave them my credit card to make sure we would have meals, as we are backpackers. My son arrived at the island first and called my taxi to tell me to bring food there was none on the island. In RakiRaki our taxi driver called... More

Even thought the Betham's Beach website recommends that you take a bus to Rakiraki and then a taxi to Ellington's Wharf, if you catch a SunBeam bus then there actually is a stop at Ellington Wharf which can cut out the cost of a taxi, which is what I did. But, it was quite a long walk down to the... More

... If that's what you want - peace, privacy, daily independance, just a really good rest, or a quiet break with the kids, then Betham's is your spot! It's on the calm water side of Nananu-I-Ra island where the water is like glass and beautifully safe for all the sedate water activies available; and everyone gets a kick out of... More

Nananu-i-ra is truly a beautiful island getaway. We informed Betham's of what bus we would be arriving on and they arranged a taxi to meet us. The taxi driver charged a bit more ($15, as opposed to about $9 meter rate), but we did not mind too much, as we made him wait with our heavy bags while we did... More

Family from Sydney Aust went to Bethams and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were in cabin 2 - twenty steps and we were in the water. We stayed for 5 nights (2A & 2C - 8 and 4 yrs) - No Tv, phone etc - so good to be away from everything. Rob and Kate were excellent hosts. Rob organised our... More

We booked just a few days ahead, no problem. Had learned ahead of time that little was available on the island in the way of groceries, so picked some things up in Rakiraki prior to coming out. Called when bus was pulling into Rakiraki, caught a cab to the wharf after shopping and Bob was waiting there for us. Booked... More

Situated on a calm Pacific cove, Betham's is perfect for snorkelling with damselfish; Papoo Divers picked up guests at the jetty in the morning. Room temp showers--plenty of sparkly fresh rain water in the tank; kitchenette burner heated water easily, Electricity turned off late at bedtime (use small flashlight). Soon alpha Centauri and beta Centauri lit up the reef; everyone... More
